This is the best of the 3 fryers that I have owned.
Excellent cooking results and very easy to clean inside and out.
 Worst ever April 20, 2008

I bought this product and sent it back to Amazon because I thought it was faulty!! I received a sescond one and had the same problems! Phillips state that you can use solid fat as long as you melt it separately the first time of use. This I did. When I came to use it a second time - it bleeped that it was ready for use - but a layer of fat was unmelted under the elements. It does not have a separate cooking bowl. This is the worst deep fat fryer I have ever used. All previous ones have been very good. Thakfully Amazon are great to deal with and have agreed to give me a complete refund

I bought one of these from Argos and within a monthe I was replacing it because it just stopped working. The replacement item has also just stopped working after several months so i am totally unimpressed considering the price of it. Think I'll stay away from Philips products in the future.

I took delivery of the fryer roughly 1 week ago, so my comments below are based on having used it roughly 6 or 7 times so far.
1. Its HUGE, you will need a large space to accomodate and despite the filter in the lid, its kicks out a fair amount of steam, so be wary of low hanging ceilings.
2. It uses a lot of oil, roughly 3.5 litres of vegetable oil, so think ahead and make sure you have the means to filter and clean the oil after each use. Currently I strain the oil (when cold) through some Muslin that is housed inside a 4 gallon pasta pan. I have re-used the same oil each time I've used the appliance and I so far have not had any problems with odours, or greasy food.
3. The fryer is extremely efficient at heating the oil up, I have not had to wait more than 1 minute for it to reach a temperature of 190 C.
4. The basket is large enough to accomodate upto 2 KGs of food, however, as the inner bowl is quite wide, the depth of your oil is maybe only 3 inches, so you need to think ahead in terms of the size of the food going into the fryer. My Turbot fillets got stuck on the bottom of the basket on my first attempt because the oil wasn't deep enough (despite being filled to the MAX level) and the batter wasnt able to seal around the fish. On a plus side though, this means my fish lasts longer as they are cut into smaller fillets :-)
5. This fryer has no facility to help clean the used oil. You simply have to wait until the oils cold, pour the used oil through some muslin to remove the food particles and store the used oil until the next use.
6. Yes most of the components can go into the dishwasher, however in reality this tends to just mean the lid and basket as baked on oil in the inner bowl needs to be removed by something with a bit more abbrasion.
If you want a fryer that you will use every day, buy one with an inbuilt cleaning system. If you want a fryer for occasional use that will present well cooked and tasty meals, buy this one.
Excellent chips ....by Northern chip expert. August 19, 2007

I'd been reticent to buy a deep fat fryer having used a chip pan for over thirty years.When I had a new kitchen installed I opted for gas hobs rather than electric .I prefer gas hobs for cooking but retired my chip pan as I felt rather nervous about using it with gas rather than the electric hobs I'd used previously.
I've heard bad reports of deep fat fryers but on the other hand making good chips is a skill which involves more than chucking some spuds into fat!
You need the right fat or oil, the right cooking temperature and the right type of potato ( and don't add too many chips at once )and its surprising how many idiots out there don't know this.
When I got the fryer I loaded it with vegetable oil from Waitrose ,heated it to 160 degrees and cooked the chips for 4 minutes.Then I removed the chips when the inclusive electronic timer went off and put the temperature up to 180 degrees.I then cooked the chips for 3 more minutes.
The result with King Edward potatoes was excellent.
I expect I'll experiment a little more but I give it full marks.
The fryer has no cool wall but I didn't find that it got too hot on the outside but do treat it sensibly.
